North American Indians (Assiniboine) are gathered near tepees and lodges outside of Fort Union, a fur trade post, near the Montana boarder in North Dakota. The Fort is a log stockade with guard towers. Trade goods in crates and barrels are on the ground near the tepees. American Indian and white men relax near crates and a camp stool.
